Not an easy road to travel...

A few days before leaving the village we received a man and his wife from Malunda village who came to find out if it was indeed true that his two children got such durable shoes free of charge. Since he was awayhe thought his wife was having an extrmarital affair. he almost beat her up but his wife asked him to look for me and get the truth , thank God I was still there! The man was speechless, he thanked me and openly confessed that his children had never had such type of shoes, not even himself. his wife was all smiles and I saved her from the beatings. When they were going back, i saw themsmiling and laughing, going in peace...

...My dear, we've done something ...our friendship is not selfish, its rich friendship which cannot easily be found...something has happended in Makuluni...'

  1. I've been playing "Catch-up" on this blog, after being away for a while.

    Great reporting on a fantastic story, Virginia!

    The lovely thing is that, as I read what you have written, I can "hear" your gorgeous voice!

    Hugs.

    Audrey
